observatories

n. astronomical viewing place; place where nature can be observed

An observatory is a location used for observing terrestrial and/or celestial events. Astrology, astronomy, climatology/meteorology, geology, oceanography and volcanology are examples of disciplines for which observatories have been constructed. Historically, observatories were as simple as containing a sextant (for measuring the distance between stars) or Stonehenge (which has some alignments on astronomical phenomena).
